News: Guam Coastal Management Program Launches First Southern “Backyard Buoy” to Enhance Ocean Safety and Coastal Monitoring

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 9, 2025 Guam Coastal Management Program Launches First Southern “Backyard Buoy” to Enhance Ocean Safety and Coastal Monitoring Hagatña, Guam – In a major step toward improving ocean safety and climate resilience, the Bureau of Statistics and Plans, Guam Coastal Management Program (GCMP) has deployed the first of two community-informed Backyard Buoys off the island’s southwestern coastline. The first wave-monitoring device, deployed off the coast of Hågat, will deliver real-time ocean data to benefit fishers, boaters, scientists, and coastal planners. The second southern Backyard Buoy is scheduled to be deployed at the end of July near the entrance of the Cocos Lagoon. The buoys, about the size of a basketball and colored bright yellow for visibility, were provided through a partnership with the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS). Designed for nearshore use, they transmit wave height, direction, period, and water temperature data to online and mobile platforms accessible to the public. “This project brings technology closer to the people,” said Camille Quichocho, Biologist with GCMP. “From boaters and fishers to engineers, everyone gains from having access to timely, reliable ocean data—especially in areas where it’s never been available before.” The buoy locations were selected following

Website Restoration Update

As part of a recent global cyber incident targeting cPanel-hosted servers, bsp.guam.gov was among the millions of domains compromised worldwide. Unfortunately, most file downloads and embedded content hosted on the site could not be restored.

The Bureau of Statistics and Plans is currently restoring our site and securely re-uploading all files, data sets, and media—including vital public materials and reports, e.g., for the Guahan 2050 Sustainability Plan—that were linked prior to the attack.

We anticipate the full restoration of the website to be completed in a months time. More recently published files will be prioritized and will be available in a shorter time frame.  We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work toward full restoration of BSP’s extensive digital repository of reports, plans, and data.
